Introduction For centuries, humans have looked up to the stars and wondered if there is life beyond our own planet. It wasn't until the last few decades that technology and scientific advances have made it possible to search for extraterrestrial life. With discoveries of exoplanets in recent years, the idea of finding life outside of our solar system has become more plausible. In this article, we will explore the possibility of extraterrestrial life beyond our solar system. Exoplanets: A New Frontier The discovery of exoplanets has been a game-changer in the search for extraterrestrial life. An exoplanet is a planet outside our solar system. These planets are discovered using various techniques, including the transit method, radial velocity method, and direct imaging. To date, over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered, and many of them are in the habitable zone. The habitable zone is the region around a star where the temperature is just right for the existence of liquid water, a ...
